The Czech writer and artist Jiří Kolář was a master of modern collage in the visual arts. He has developed them further in different directions. Depending on the feedstock and technology he distinguished “Rollagen”, “Prollagen”, “Chiasmagen” and other forms. They are rich in allusions to art and literature. So he refers, for example, to Gersaints figurehead, the billboard of the Parisian art dealer.
